I would suppose that whatever work is being done was planned and scheduled a long time ago, which is typical of capital projects, and could not practically take the possibility of a particular major sporting event into consideration.

There are probably contracts, allocations of resources and long-term plans that are bult around the assumption of this work being done. What's more, as winter is approaching, suspending or cancelling the work could potentially delay it until next spring, which might disrupt other planned work premised upon the work being at least partially completed and the resources used in it available for other planned work. Not undertaking the work now could cause cascading problems some ways into the future.

There was nothing wrong with the bridge. More “work” needed resulting in a net zero

Bridge maintenance is rarely unnecessary, it’s expensive but also vital to not having the bridge like collapse while people drive on it

Stop your complaining and leave earlier for Christ sake. It’s driving in the city

Leaving earlier would have absolutely nothing to do with solving this
